YOU... THINK OF A NIGHTMARE...

Nightmare-ridden Librarian is a regular enemy that first appears in World Exploration Episode 7, Forgotten Academy. It serves as a large ranged backline unit, able to deal heavy amounts of damage to random Cookies within its range.

Behavior[]

Nightmare-ridden Librarian spawns in the back of waves as a single unit. It fires orb projectiles at up to three random Cookies within its attack range, dealing damage and pushing them back slightly.

After every three attacks, it casts an interruptible special attack that wreathes a random Cookie within range with will-o-wisps, dealing damage 10 times over 2 seconds. This effect cannot be purified.

In Stages 7-25 and 7-29, Elite Nightmare-ridden Librarians gain the Status Frenzy Frenzy buff after taking direct damage equal to half of their Max HP, which increases the damage they deal and doubles their ATK SPD. The amount of damage required to activate this buff can be seen in a white bar below their HP bar. This buff can be dispelled.

Tips[]

  • Allow enemies to push one's Cookie team back to limit the number of targets within Nightmare-ridden Librarian's attack range. Pushing forward into it allows it to attack one's Middle and Rear Cookies.
  • The range of Nightmare-ridden Librarian's special attack is equal to its attack range. If no Cookie targets are within range when it finishes channeling its special attack, then the attack will fail.
  • Elite Nightmare-ridden Librarians are notorious for wiping Cookie teams the moment they enrage with Status Frenzy Frenzy, attacking with vigor that an evenly-matched team is unlikely to rival. Any team that cannot overpower them quickly must have a plan prepared for them, as a team can accidentally cause them to enrage while clearing the rest of the enemy wave out.
  • Saving Skills with incapacitating effects such as Status Stun Stun until an elite Nightmare-ridden Librarian enrages and chaining them together on it can mitigate the amount of damage it can deal, potentially allowing a team to finish it off.

Trivia[]

  • The Nightmare-ridden Librarian is one of the few enemies to have quotes, speaking before its first appearance as an Elite enemy in the final wave of 7-25.
  • The Librarian's Enchanted Robes Librarian's Enchanted Robes Treasure is based off of this enemy's design.
  • The Nightmare-ridden Librarian makes a cameo in Episode 4 of Last Cookie Standing, being the answer to the final question of that episode's Cookie Trial.
